To Bid Successfully on Projects!

When you bid on a job, you can send a private massage to the employer.

You also are able to make a comment to them, but your PM(posted message) is important, so make sure to make it a good one!
Make sure to briefly highlight your experience as well as a realistic and competitive time that you can finish the project. If you are just starting out, its good to bid kind of low.

***Comment***

You write about your general information in the comment; for example, how you are good at it, or how you have a lot of experience for the job, etc.
**A good comment is short and catchy! --> Why? --> Because, most employers want to know the details and they will contact you (hopefully) about the job and you can close the deal!

***PM***

-If you have experience for the job, of course, you can write about it. When you write about the job history, it is good to include the evidence: links, web sites, documents, etc.

-If you don't have experience for the job, you need to persuade the employee. (But don't mention that you have not done it yet!!!)
---> For example, if you are going to be an ad poster, make ads on Craigslist, Kijiji, Backpage, or whatever sites the employer wants to post to. And include those ads' links in the PM. It is good to make over 3 ads so that the employer can see that ads are not flagged or ghosted.

And, here is the thing...

You will realize that many people from overseas bid very cheaply. (You can tell by their comments that they are not fluent in English.)
That is their skill in bidding:They are not native English speakers, but they can work cheaply.

Now, you don't want to work cheaply, so strongly point out your ability to 'connect' with Americans or whomever, because that is most likely who the advertiser is marketing to!

Many employers (60%) only care about how cheap you bid, but 40% of them do care.
They don't want any language problems when posting the ads and they don't want other communication problems when giving directions.
So, I always make sure to emphasize that I'm a native English speaker!
